I ask myself this question,
Is falling in love a decision?,
If it is, then I don’t know how
If it is not, then I don’t get the concept

“You have to fall in love by thirty” society screams
“You might have to push me” I yell
Society actually pushes people to fall inhell,
When you throw yourself to the ground,
You may be sand bathing but it is never a “FALL”

“I want your happiness” society says
I thought happiness is being with someone you love
And not just anybody willing to put a ring on it.
Teju must be right when he said,
“A lot of people who marry for the wrong reasons,
Pressures others to get married to be as miserable as they are”.
Finding a partner can be the best and worst decision in life,
dependent on the treasure ‘love’.

I am confused…. I may have my facts all wrong
But I want a partner with white in the mouth
And green in the pocket
If love is not a decision,
Can I fall in love with someone whose got it all twisted,
Green in the mouth and white in the pocket?
I would say,” Hell no!”
Pardon my cursing but that will actually feel like a curse
I still ask you though,
“Is falling inlove a decision?”

“I will get married by thirty five”
some men say at twenty,
Is it because they have found the one
Or they will just decide?

My dilemma rings in my head so loud
It is deafening!
Is falling inlove a decision?
Can I decide whom and when to fall inlove?
When the world demands it,
Can I respond ????

Interesting train of thoughts there. Falling in love may not have to be decision since love itself is a feeling.However in Africa,Ghana as I know,the society has literarily planned out the life everyone especially women.We have pushed away the concept of love and have replaced it with marriage.
But at the end of the day it’s still your decision.I loved reading your post!
